He estimated that if the teachers receive a 7.5 per cent increase this year, he would expect that municipal employees should receive the same amount. "Depending upon what the figure is," he continued, "we might have to consider some layoffs of municipal employees." Both Mayor Bonastia and Commissioner MacLachlan hope that they will not have to vote against school funds. "After all," they commented, "we have some friends there now." The remark came in the light of the fact that five of the seven members have been appointed by Mayor Bonastia since May of 1972. Revenue and Finance Director Richard I.

Loss of State Aid Would Hike Taxes If the New Jersey Supreme Court orders a redistribution of state educational aid as proposed by Governor Brendan T. Byrne, Montclair may lose $1,800,000. On the assumption that this would have to be made up in local tax funds in order to provide the same services and facilities funded presently by state funds, taxpayers would be required to pay about 7.7 per cent more in 1975 taxes than they did in 1974. The statement presumes no change in either ratables or other tax levy requirements. The Montclair Board of Education and six other school boards have petitioned the court to reject the Byrne proposal because it discriminates against the petitioning boards.
